Bilstein 24-108096 B6 Yellow Rear Shock Absorber Damper (Monotube Gas) for BMW 8 Series E31 Coupe 1990-1999 - 840i 840Ci 850i 850Ci 850CSi, ALPINA B12 - Heavy Duty OE-Quality Performance Upgrade, Direct Fit Replacement

Bilstein B6 Yellow Rear Damper for BMW E31 8 Series and ALPINA B12 - Part No. BILSTEIN-24-108096

Transform the way your E31 drives with the Bilstein B6 Yellow rear damper. This gas-charged monotube unit is a direct-fit replacement that lifts control, grip and comfort without altering your ride height. If you want tighter body control on B-roads, stable motorway composure and superb confidence when loaded with passengers or luggage, this is the fast-road suspension upgrade that simply works.

We have fitted these on customer E31 builds and the feedback is consistent: crisper response, reduced float, improved traction out of bends and a planted rear end that still rides nicely on imperfect UK roads. It is a brilliant match for the BMW 8 Series and ALPINA B12 chassis.
